Default Headphones - in head problem

I am currently forced to use headphones a lot more than I would like
(i.e. never) and this is going to continue in the near future. My
biggest problem with headphones is the in head effect which I find a
continual source of mild irritation. A glass of wine helps but not
enough.

A while ago (OK a few decades ago) I have recollections of a pair of
Jecklin Float electrostatic headphones not inflicting the same level of
in-headness. Does anyone have positive experiences to report with
current weird looking headphones which move the transducers away from
the ears?



All sorts of stuff on headphone amps he http://headwize.com/index.htm
In particular, this paper: http://headwize.com/tech/sshd_tech.htm may
have some relevence.
